Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

When you’re doing well in life with a good marriage, happy family, or successful career, do you take all the credit? Listen to this lesson to learn that everything we have is a gift from God. Hear how Jesus fed more than 5,000 people in a miraculous way and find out what lesson He was teaching His disciples. Learn the significance of bread beginning in the Old Testament. Ask yourself if you’re willing to be trained as a disciple or are you spending too much of your time on what makes you comfortable today?
